published of Mr.. CARROTS eccentric
talk and actions. John W. Garrett was
afflicted with softening of the brain be-
fore be died. In fact, his head trou-
bled him so much for several years be-
fore bis final illness that he spent five
or six months in absolute seclusiou in

return from Europe.

He would accuse members of the club

he would talk lightly of the subject, say
that he didn't care, and heaye a sigh of
relief, as though he was glad to be free

Or. Barnard. in his statement, refers
to Mr.. CARROTS hard work and close
application to business Gentlemen
who have had business relations with
Mr.. Garrett and know him well say that
he was not n man to worry over bust

inclined to look upon the cheerful side
of life and take the world easy. He
seldom spent over four or five hours u

did not work late at night. as his father
was wont to do. Many of his friends,

PORTSMOUTH, o., October pa
heavy storm of rain broke upon the city
to-day. The Democratic managers had
made arrangements to give Governor
Gordon hearty reception, and, not
withstanding the inclement weather, a
large audience greeted him. The
General on being introduced, referring
to the charge of being a kuklux, made
by the Republican press, denied it
fully, asserting that he never at any
time following the war belonged to
any organization except one formed
for the maintenance of law and order,
and that he had not at any time been
member of a secret society. He then
spoke of the charges of sentimentalism
made by the Commercials gazette, and
acknowledged the impeachment. He
agreed that all men, actuated by de-
sire to promote their country S welfare,
were sentimentalists. He then launch
ed out on his main address by a state
ment, first, that he would speak only
of questions affecting the people of
both the North and South, and, second,
that he desired to be questioned fully
and freely on any point upon which the
audience desired TO be informed. He
then spoke of the reception OF JEFF.
Davis, justifying it as in his speech at
Cincinnati last night. In referring to
the late war the General said that at no
time had the South desired to destroy
the Union that she had furnished too
much of valor and treasure and blood
towards its formation and build
ing TO wish it destroyed (; that
the war was only the outgrowth
of the construction of the Constitution,
which differed from that OF the people |
of the North. The sections he COM
pared TO two boys, "Johnnie " aud
"Yank," who fell out over matter
that could not be peaceably adjusted,
